The American Medical Association
composed of the foremost men in the
medical profession, came out with the
statement in their recent meeting that
alcohol is of no value in medicine,
either as a drug or a stimulant. A recent
investigation conducted in the
Uellevue Hospital, New York, disclosed
the fact that of 259 alcoholic patients
examined, sixty-eight per cent,
more than half, began to drink before

Columbia, July 21.?With the drawing
completed and the relative status
of the registrants fixed, South Carolina
will within the next very few
-days send forth 10,081 of her young
..men between 21 and 31 years of age
from the pursuits of civil life to take
their places in the huge national army
which the Uunited States expects to
have in training within the next several
weeks.

boards are furnished with the pho'
lograi&ic copies of the official list of
' numbers they will notify double the
~ number in their respective districts
who are to be drawn. If from this
"annhber the required quota can be secured
after this those who may be ex'
?mnted are excluded, the others on
: the list will simply be in reserve in
caee tkere should be a subsequent cpM

Practically every younf man in
.South Carolina on the registration lists
toad learned his status 'by today. In
':?he cities-where there are daily papers
r<most of them knew it yesterday, and
t the information was sent out by tele~phone
and telegraph to various, towns

As has been shown many acquire

J

been through the medium of a patent

Columbia, July 22.?"It's a great
victory for the Reform party in its:
j fight against bitter factionalism and
| partisanship in South Carolina in this
I war emergency," said former Gover-'
v I
I nor Blease today, in speaking of the
appointment of the federal district exemtion
boards for South Carolina.
"No matter by whom the members of
these two boards may have been recomended,
I have not the slightest
doubt that the attitude of General;
- / aw- I
Crowder, as a direct resun 01 cue
visits to Washington of the Reform
committee, is solely responsible for
the character of the appointments."
It is not known whether or not these
boards as appointed are the recommendation
submitted by Governor
Manning. If they are, their personnel,
and the fact that the Reform party)
has been given recognition, shows that
; even the governor has been forced by
iDublic sentiment to a recognition of!
the justice of the protest filed Inj
Washington by the Reform committee,
and that this is virtually an admis-|
stfon on his part of the unfairness1
and partisanship displayed by him in j
his recommendation of the local
| boards.
One of the members of the eastern
* ' *- ' 3 '" TJWilliQTT1 A.. I
district uuaru nuu. ? ?
Stuckey, of Rishopville, who was a!
member of the Reform committee. Thej
first man named on the western dis-j
| trict board is Col. J. Marion Davis, of;
j Newberry, superintendent of the New-j
berry cotton mills and recently elect- '
ed president of the Southern Textile!
association, who has been prominent-!
ly identified with the Reform party,
for a number of years and who was j
a member of Governor Blease's mili- j
tary staff.
The appointments as a whole are
very pleasing to the members of the!
Reform -party, who have made themselves
felt in no uncertain manner in
carrying direct to Washington their
protest against discriminatons against
them in former war board appointments
in this State. The committee
appointed by the mass meeting here
held two conferences with Genreal
Crowder, and placed before him the
true status of affairs in South Caroina,
following the publication of the
dispatch from its Washington correspondent,
in The Charleston American
that- finvpmor Manning, on a trip to
Washington, had "told the department
! that if the county officials mentioned
(shriffs, clerks of court and county
physicians) conducted the registraj
tion in South Carolina, that 'slackers'
might have their day, and that politics
would control the work in South
Carolina."
Discusing the federal exemption and
appeal boards today, former Governor
Blease 3aid:
The Personnel
"Mr. R. Q. Jeffords, of Darlington,
who is connected with the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway, is, in my opirdon,
a good man, and will make an excel

| board. It is useless for me to make
any refereace to Mr. Robert D. Scarborough,
of Conway, former congressman
and now member of the board of
regents of the State hospital for the
insane appointed by the present gov-'
ernor; his political positions since
I.S'ji) up to now are too well known.
.Mr. VV. A. ^ t lie key of Lee wus for sev

is one of the leading members of the
Reform party, and was a member of
the committee which went to Wash-;
ington to confer with the War De-;
partment. Mr. William Qodfrey's fam-'
i!y is highly esteemed in Newberry,:
for I think he is a brother of the,
young lady w ho met a tragic death :
while teaching school there, while Mr. j
Stuckey was superintendent. This

ally fine gentleman, and will do what
is right. The college was taken over ;
by the State during my term as gov-j

board of trustees I was closely asso-'
cated with him.
"As to the western district board, I
do not thnk the Reform party has a1
truer member, or that I have a better;
personal and political friend than J

has been proven by his works since we

I give the authorities in Washington
j credit for having named very good
boards and I am satisfied that the two
trips of our committee to Washington
j had much to do with bringing about
| the appointment of this class of men.
' I am convinced that General Crowder.
! from his remarks to us, saw what
might become a very serious and
critical state of affairs in this State
if bitter local partisanship had been
[allowed to control in naming the apj
peal boards for the district, as was
! the case in the appointment of the lc|
cal boards. The little county boards
i will have to be more particular now
I tlian they .vould have been, because
j they have men over them to set aside
j any actions of their, which may be inI
fluenced by mean partisanship.
j "I have had no opportunity for consultation
as yet with any of the members
of our committee, and the observations
which [ am now making
are personal views. I shall be very (
much surprised, having studied care-1
fully of the personnel of these two
boards, if any man or set of men can
dictate toa majority of either bo*r'j;
what course they shall follow as a;
whole, or what action they shall take
in any individual case."
The federal boards have large pow-j
ers. To them may be carried on ap7>eal

boards, and they ^pass directly on*

co declare a business man has never

learned there are other compensations

Here are some other bits of advice
Mr. Wanamakur handed around to
callers:
"Jt is a great thing to show people
how to work and teach them to lovo
it."
"More people have blind minds about
business than there are peope with
blind eyes."
"There is no better school for learning
the world, its people, coustoms and
financial methods than the mercantile."
' To give the people greater conveniences
and actual satisfaction has been
my business motto for half a century."
"Patron first, merchant afterward,
is another one."
"When people get down to the fact
that principles are essential for safe
foundations they will not justify prac- / j
tices that consider only the way3 that . 1
l yield the quickest and largest returns
I in dollars and cents."
! of the times and 'business
conditions, Mr. Wanamaker?" he was
asked.
"There is no need to "be concerned
